FAQ

Push vs native FAQ

How do Push and Native reach users differently?

Push arrives as a high-visibility notification, while Native appears within a content feed. The first interrupts and the second relies more on context.

What starting click price is listed for both formats?

The page states that Push and Native clicks begin from $0.003 CPC. Inventory and actual price follow the campaign settings.

When is Push a useful first format?

Push fits short hooks, quick offer validation, and campaigns that need data at volume. Use conversion tracking so speed does not reward empty clicks.

When does Native suit an offer better?

Native suits offers that need context, trust, or a longer consideration step. The headline and image must earn attention honestly.

Can the same ad copy be reused unchanged?

Adapt the idea to each placement. A notification hook and an in-feed headline-image pair have different space and user context.

How should the two traffic types be compared?

Run separate campaigns with aligned audience, offer, attribution, and objective. Compare cost per chosen outcome rather than raw click volume.

Do Push and Native use the same targeting tools?

Both can use FroggyAds targeting and source controls. Keep format-level results separate when applying whitelists or blacklists.

Can a winning Push concept be expanded into Native?

A proven angle can inform a Native variant, but it needs content-style creative and a fresh test. The Push result does not guarantee Native performance.

How should quality be checked across the two formats?

Review Adscore signals, source data, and attributed conversions for each format. Do not treat one blended quality score as a fair comparison.

What funding does a first Push-versus-Native test require?

Testing can begin after the account holds the published $50 minimum. Assign a separate cap to each format so the comparison remains controlled.
